Offensive Player of the Week
Conor McGlynn, Siena

McGlynn registered a goal and two assists in the Saints' 4-2 win over 2019 NEC Preseason Favorite Saint Francis (PA).

Sr., Nantes, France/CENS
Gohier faced 20 shots and notched seven saves in Manhattan’s narrow season-opening loss at Lehigh. The senior goalkeeper’s seven saves were the most he has made since Nov. 1, 2017 when he also made seven stops against Canisius.
Rookie of the Week
Samuel Schwarz, Siena
So., Traunstein, Germany/Chiemgau-Gymnasium Traunstein
A sophomore by class but a freshman by eligibility, Schwarz netted his first collegiate goal in the 12th minute of the Saints' 4-2 win over Saint Francis (PA) and led the team with five shots on the afternoon.
